Ed Schultz: Gun violence is worse in Chicago because they don’t have any gun laws

Ed Schultz wants so badly to make the case that strict gun laws actually reduce gun violence that he said on his show last Friday that New York City has less gun violence than Chicago because Bloomberg has implemented the strictest gun laws in America. In Chicago, he said, gun laws don’t even exist. Seriously.

Apparently Ed hasn’t done his research because Chicago has among the strictest gun laws in America. In fact the State of Illinois was just given 180 days to come up with new gun laws because the old ones were so strict they violated the 2nd amendment.

What a dope!

ED SCHULTZ: The gun laws and the gun violence in Chicago is a helluva lot different than it is in New York City. There’s two different worlds when it comes to gun violence, it’s not even close. You know, New York City is not, you know, an all-safe zone or what not, I’m not trying to make that case. But a city that has got strict, the strictest gun laws in America put forth by Mayor Bloomberg, versus the gun laws that apparently don’t even exist in Chicago, you’ve got two totally different numbers when it comes to lives lost.

You’re being too kind to Eddy, there Scoop. I’m pretty sure describing this moron as a “dope” is a gross understatement. 😉

I find it interesting that they are trying to take away our guns while planning on by-passing the Congress to proclaim Amnesty and making it increasingly difficult for Americans to get out of the country.

Could it be that the gov’t wants to force us to stay in America and pay for all the new Democrats aka illegals turned legal? Just a thought.

I have heard that Montana has nullified the health care mandate. And that your state is big on guns, has low unemployment, a hefty oil supply and is largely Conservative and believes in the Constitution, overall. Are these things true? I am wondering what the freest states in America are at this time. Thank you in advance for your advice.

In the urban areas things tend to be purplish, in the rural areas red. What the Montana legislature and Governor did was to flat refuse to partake in or set up the exchanges. On Guns and the 2nd, well let’s just say that showing anti-gun opinions will make one’s political career into a non-starter in Montana, regardless of party. While we have quite a bit of oil, coal is by far more abundant.

Thank you so much for the information, Ken. You helped me make a major decision.

Perhaps those of us on this post that live in area’s that cater to the obama agenda, can all relocate together. I’ve come to think of many of you as my friends and it would be enjoyable having patriot neighbors. smile.

Right on the money MsContrary… Lies are all they have ever had and ever will have. Too bad for US though that 50% of the people are so dumbed down they haven’t a clue.

Let’s outlaw liberalism first and then if violence still persists then we’ll consider stricter gun laws. I suspect that if you outlaw liberalism, things will improve dramatically in the US.

excellent post

And once again, the liberal media mouth piece does not let TRUTH get in the way of pushing the Leftist agenda.

I saw the picture and had to comment. 1st, Ed kind of resembles the actor who played Sgt Schultz, (John Banner) and given his comment on the “non existence of gun laws in Chicago” Ed also sounds just like the clueless Sgt Schultz. Hogan’s Heroes, funny show, and Ed is just as funny, but not in the same manner.

It’s too bad we can’t fine these people $500 every time they get on the air and tell a lie. We could erase the entire national debt just on MSNBC. Add in the rest – ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and PBS and we’d all get a nice tax refund.

Sometimes I wonder whether a truly good God would create such a place as horrible as the ‘lake of fire’.

Then I hear Shultz and co consistently and heartlessly deny innocent generations of Americans the truth about their nation, its laws and history and thus in the process stealing and degrading their minds irreversibly, while at the same time holding themselves out to be the guardians of all truth; And I am CONVINCED that GOD is MORE THAN JUST.

Woe upon me, a doubting, sinning fool!

I said I wouldn’t come back on this blog as a result of my annoyance at some patterns I saw in 2012. But you do good work here. And I am forced to rethink. We all must needs stick together in such dark hours. Well done TRS. And a happy new year to posters and moderators alike.

I’m not surprised at Ed because libs tend to speak before checking facts. Having said that, the reason Chicago has so many murders is not because of gun laws but because of the gangs and unless that problem is addressed the violence will continue.

Well, well. Chicago has no gun laws? I hope the word gets out to all the law-abiding citizens in Chicago so they can go out and purchase all those guns they need to defend themselves. They are desperate for them.

I can see why he would say they ‘apparently’ have no laws because the gangs run rampant in the city. Criminals, after all, really don’t care two bits for any law, let alone the gun laws. That is sound reasoning for having responsible conceal-carry laws.

Oh I sorry ED, you are WRONG Again the correct answer is who are people that do not obey laws passed by society.

“Gun control? It’s the best thing you can do for crooks and gangsters. I want you to have nothing. If I’m a bad guy, I’m always gonna have a gun. Safety locks? You will pull the trigger with a lock on, and I’ll pull the trigger. We’ll see who wins.

This fat POS must be joking.

But typical for him. He stands on his head and complains that the world is upside down. that is if he could get his fat a$$ upside down.

This excuse for a civil man reflects the horde of intellectual derelicts that employed him to begin with.
We are not up against this sad sack, we are up against the worker drones behind the scenes that give him his talking points and schedule.
Grave issues are at stake and he is just another cog in the wheel that we must endure.

506 murders in Chgo in2012, where every anti-gun law is posted, re-posted and surrounded by thousands another ones….
And there is a total prohibition of handguns. No handguns in Chgo, ask Rahm. ;-/
And 506 people died from handguns.
For the millionth time: how effective “the law” is?
Print those laws on a soft paper and either stuck them into killers faces,
or use as a toilet paper.
Or stuck it in that thoughtless, idiotic, prerecorded snout like that of Schultz’.

I do not nor will I watch NBC. So I do not know Ed Schultz. According to his intentional rhetoric, I do not care to know him. This type of intentionally forced propaganda used to be a firing offense by the networks. it is now the only way they can stay on air. What bugs me most of all about this diatribe drivel is that they know they are programming they’re younger viewers. That is why it should be again, not only a firing offense, but illegal as well.

Ask a criminal if they know any gun laws. Other than it’s illegal to shoot someone, so don’t get caught, they don’t give a crap about laws. That’s why they’re criminals. They don’t abide by laws. They make their own laws. The law of the streets. Gun laws are monuments to lawmakers so they can feel good about themselves. They love to do photo-ops and surround themselves with people slobbering over their every word. It has nothing to do with reducing crime. It has everything to do with control.

Ed is retarded. It’s a pretty well known fact (well at least I thought it was) that Chicago and Washington D.C. have some of the toughest gun control laws in the country yet are two of the most dangerous cities in the country.

He think Chicago’s gun laws don’t exist because thats how ineffective they are.
